HIPAA-compliant, 24/7 cloud access to medical images boosts center’s productivity, efficiency and savings
For Premier MRI/CT, an outpatient diagnostic imaging center in Southfield, MI, time is of the essence, both for the approximately 500 physicians they partner with and the patients they serve. Premier provides thousands of CT, MRA, MRI and X-rays each year to the tri-county community near Detroit.
Before FreedomPACS, Premier and their ordering physicians were losing critical time, money and productivity relying on outdated, cumbersome medical image CDs.
“With so many locations geographically, moving physical records around was problematic,” explained the center’s director Gary Wood. “We needed to get X-rays, MRI studies and CT images in the hands of the doctors in a more convenient way.”
FreedomPACS Solution – Radiology Image Sharing
The radiology PACS, cloud storage and archiving and ImageShare technology helped Premier to:
- Digitalize their images and studies cost-effectively.
- Provide 24/7 web-based access to their ordering physicians on mobile and PC platforms.
- Drastically reduce the geographical and time barriers between image testing and diagnosis/treatment.
- Successfully meet HIPAA and FDA privacy and security requirements.
Radiology Image Sharing Results
After implementing FreedomPACS, Premier MRI/CT experienced a more streamlined workflow, faster turnaround on processing and delivering medical images and radiology studies to physicians and significant savings on equipment and technology.
As a result, the center was able to drastically improve radiology image sharing services for patients. 
“FreedomPACS enables us to archive our images across multiple sites–efficiently, inexpensively and with quick access regardless of where our doctors might be located,” said Wood.
“ImageShare is a great benefit as it allows us to connect our external physicians securely so that they can see their patients’ exams.”
